RIO DE JANEIRO -- Juan Martin del Potro bounced the ball, waiting to try to serve out his second-round match at the Olympic tennis tournament.Argentine fans sang for him. Brazilians chanted for his opponent, seeking to drown out their rivals. Boos and whistles and shushes echoed around center court.Please, the chair umpire said into his microphone, imploring spectators for some quiet.There has been little of that at the Olympic Tennis Center in Rio de Janeiro. While crowds are sparse for many sports, theyve been healthy for tennis -- and often far louder than the number of folks in the stands would suggest.Wimbledon, this is not.Its different when you play in Europe -- the people are more calm, Brazilian player Thomaz Bellucci said. In Brazil, people get crazy, and its very nice.Jeering is common, and fans often yell out in the middle of a point or as a player is about to serve -- no-nos in tennis.Sometimes we dont know exactly when its OK to cheer, acknowledged Mauricio Vieira, a 40-year-old Brazilian fan who attended del Potros first-round match against top-ranked Novak Djokovic. You have to understand, our point of reference is soccer.And that point of reference is to be raucous -- all the time.We are not used to these kinds of sports, so we watch it as we know it, said 34-year-old Vanessa Pessoa, who works in project management. We make a lot of noise because its who we are.Players have mostly enjoyed the atmosphere, even when its gone against them. Some of the loudest roars so far came on the second-largest court, where the Brazilian doubles team of Bellucci and Andre Sa upset second-seeded brothers Andy and Jamie Murray of Britain in the first round Sunday.It beats playing in front of two men and a dog, said Jamie Murray, whose regular doubles partner, Bruno Soares, is Brazilian.Other than rooting for Brazilian players and against Argentines -- as del Petro experienced in his first two matches -- the home fans can be unpredictable in their allegiances. The objects of their cheers and jeers can shift from set to set, game to game and even point to point.They play with the players: If you win the point, they start screaming, Bellucci said after his first-round singles match.They seem to like the big names, but also underdogs. They love showmanship and, perhaps not surprisingly, passion. Serena Williams earned her biggest roars in her first-round match for her loudest bellows of Come on! But when she smashed a racket in her second-round match, boos rained down.Its different than your average tennis crowd, Williams said. I like it.In sister Venus first-round match, the crowd swung to the side of her diminutive opponent, 61st-ranked Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium, stoked by her drop shots and her will to rally from a big deficit.Goosebumps all over the place, from the first to the last second, Flipkens said.They just enjoyed my game because, I think, Im a little girl trying to do some special stuff to get a chance to beat a champion like that, she added.During that match, some spectators tried to start a U-S-A! chant that was quickly drowned out by boos. The Brazilian crowd directed some of its loudest derision toward Belluccis first-round opponent, Dustin Brown, the dreadlocked German whos typically a fan favorite.But when Brown twisted his ankle and then tried to play through the injury, cheers poured down from the stands.Bellucci said he had never experienced anything like the atmosphere that day on center court. Home matches in Davis Cup -- the head-to-head competitions between mens national teams -- generally draw 2,000-3,000 fans, Bellucci added.Even non-Brazilian players have little to compare this to. The only similar setting Flipkens could remember in her career was the 2006 Fed Cup final -- the womens national-team competition -- that Belgium hosted.Frances Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who had the crowd both for and against him in his first-round win, said the atmosphere was far livelier than at the 2012 London Olympics.They give us emotions, so thats good, he said.Rio hosts a clay-court tournament in the winter that draws a handful of top players. At the Olympics, though, many spectators seem to be novices at watching tennis -- but not at sports fandom.Who is not shouting has problems. Its too much fun, said Clarisse Lopes, a 30-year-old psychologist attending her first pro tennis tournament. Its not every day we get to see a Djokovic or Serena Williams play in our country. This is such a treat, and we dont have a better way of expressing it.---AP Tennis Writer Howard Fendrich and Associated Press writer Adriana Gomez Licon contributed to this report. Andy Lee Jersey .

Patrick Peterson Jersey DETROIT -- The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings began the 2016-17 NHL season going in opposite directions.The teams are scheduled to meet at 7:30 p.m., Monday at Joe Louis Arena in Detroits season home opener.Ottawa is 2-0-0 after defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 in overtime on Wednesday night in its opener and a 4-3 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night, while the Red Wings are 0-2-0 after a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night and dropping a 4-1 decision to the Florida Panthers Saturday night.Early in the season, its good to grow and learn from different things ..., Senators forward Ryan Dzingel told the Ottawa Sun after Saturday nights game. We grew as a team. Both wins helped us out a lot.Dzingel had a goal and an assist in the game, in which defenseman Erik Karlsson and center Kyle Turris scored in the shootout.It will be the Senators first road game of the season.It is the first time that Detroit has lost its first two games of the season since 2009.The Red Wings defensive corps was an issue last season, when they reached the playoffs for the 25th consecutive season -- the longest current streak in the NHL -- and were eliminated in the first round of the NHL playoffs by the Tampa Lightning in five games, and it continued to be an issue in the first two games of the 2016-17 season.I think we got some guys on the back end that have to play better, Detroit coach Jeff Blashill told mlive.ddddddddddddcom after Saturday nights game.The Red Wings have already surrendered numerous breakaways and odd-man rushes. They fell behind 1-0, 1:10 into the game Saturday night and trailed 2-0 midway through the first period.We cant keep giving up free opportunities like that. Its nonsensical, Blashill said. That put us on our heels. I thought then we played to not give up chances and when you do that youre tentative and we werent quick enough on pucks. Their second guy beat our second guy to too many pucks, so we didnt spend any time in their zone.Blashill switched his top two defense pairs after the season-opening 6-4 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday night.Danny Dekeyser played with Alexey Marchenko in the opener but was paired with Mike Green Saturday night.Marchenko skated with Brendan Smith against Florida. The third pair of Jonathan Ericsson and Xavier Ouellet was intact for both games.I think Johnathan Ericsson has been very good in two games, Blashill said. I think Xavier Ouellet has been very good in two games. I think Mike Green for large portions has been good. But as a group we got to do better.This season is Detroits last at Joe Louis Arena. The team will move to the Little Caesars Arena, which is under construction, to begin the 2017-18 season.
